I need some help...

[DaWhim]

a friend of mine asked me this. I have no clue...

The following clues describe a phrase that consists entirely of pair of repeated word.

1) a book about labor
2) a nerdy
3) result of a food fight
4) ordinary flatland
5) a 2D U2
6) lawful exercise
7) a remiss vagabond
8) a so-so séance host
9) exercise done to cure a drive
10) docking in Alaska
11) The accepted flag
12) Four twenty shoemakers baked in a pie?

edit: oops, it is nerdy.

I though of white, looking at 11, and I don't know, but 1 = a whitebook?

But then the others don't fit in.

so there will be 12 answers or do clues 1-12 describe 1 thing?

oh, and #8 "a so-so séance host" is 'medium medium'

*edit* added:
"4) ordinary flatland" is 'plain plain'

this might be a stretech: "7) a remiss vagabond" is 'derelict derelict'

 

[everman]

1. work work
6. practice practice ?
7. Derelict Derelict?
11. Standard Standard

12. cobbler cobbler
10. Anchorage anchorage
3. scrap scrap?

What's a nordy?

 

[FoBoT]

1 - manual manual
3- mess mess

 

[NiteWulf]

5) plane plane

 

[kranky]

3 is "mess mess"
